New Year, New Index
After a few nights of burning some serious midnight oil, the Strobist Index is now live. You can reach it via the link at the bottom of every post. Hopefully, this will make some of the info buried in the archives of the site a little more accessible.
One Strobist resolution down for the site, two to go. More tk.
Happy New Year's everyone. Very much looking forward to 2010, with some cool plans in store.

Thank god! I mean.... thank you. It was nearly impossible to find anything before. What are the other new years resolutions?
Not saying, only that one involves Uma Thuman and I having an entire Laser Tag facility to ourselves.
Thanks for giving me back hours to my life.
Awesome -- exactly what we needed, this is huge, and a lot of work on your part, thank you.
Looking at some older posts (via Index, of course), saw one where you urged readers to "Digg it" -- I take it Digg never took off for the Strobist reader community?
If you could use volunteer help from readers like me, just say the word, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one glad to help if the workload can be broken up and parallelized.
K, I've been holding off on this for long enough for fear of sounding dumb, but here goes...
What does the "tk" in "More tk" stand for at the end of some people's blog entries?
I'm going to kick myself when someone tells me.
Sweet! Been waiting for this, yea, google gets it done in a pinch; But this is soo much easier!
Thank You!
Thank you, you have already started making 2010 great!
Wow, now this was a task especially worthy of commenting 'thank you' for.
tk=to come
more to come.....
You are making it blatantly obvious that you should write a post about something that starts with x.
Wow.
Thanks a lot!
That must be a lot of work to generate manually...
Please don't hesitate to crowdsource the process!
Nicely done and very handy.
There is one minor HTML boo-boo under On-Axis Fill, the link is showing.
Happy new year all. Nice blog.
Happy New Year, David and many thanks for all you have done for all of us out here in Strobistland! Your site is a treasured resource and I look forward to seeing what the new year holds as well as using your index to refresh my failing memory of older posts.
David, I thank you for your continued enthusiasm and professionalism. It is a great motivator for me and has driven me to some of my best work.
I will try and be more active this year.

Thanks, Jeff -- fixed.
David, if you're in need of a time-tested design methodology for image numbering, there is one in my Blog today (1/2/10) blog.chriscrumley.com.
Strobist is great stuff. Thanks.
I KNEW it i just Knew it. some body was going to have the same resolution i had about the laser tag stuff with Uma Thurman. This has to be a coincidence. What was your other resolution, just curious? Great job this year on sensitizing everyone to the bouncing of the photons. Can't wait to ride the whole next year along with you and the gang. JE
I want to know more about Uma Thurman!
Excellent work. You must have read our minds. :)
When meeting a few new people at the meets I got a feeling they were not reading the old stuff due to it being hard to find.
Thank you
The resolution to a huge problem
Thank you!

brilliant. i'm discovering quite a lot of new interesting things here i had no idea existed - thanks for that.
while i'm at it - is something wrong with site's search? if i type for example "few dollars more" into to box on top of the blog, i don't get what i'm looking for (the post about sb-26). and if i just search for "sb-26", there are no results at all...
happy new year, by the way :)
Great site, index is very helpful. I don't think you need to break it into sub-pages, just make one long index page. Then people can search within that one page with their browser search. No worries if you don't, just a suggestion!
Rob.
Firstly thanks for the great blog - I have been a lurker here for some time, but now I finally have an SB800 of my own.
Just one request - you say you usually shoot a test photo first, to get the exposure you want, and then build the fill, please can you upload and add a link to some of those photos with your posts so we can see the starting point and the final product.
I have bookmarked your index and will be reading every article in turn (get my Strobist fix on days you don't post :) - thanks for the great work.
The fully indexed 'Book of Hobby' from St. David of Baltimore :)
This is great. Yeah, sometimes I would say to myself, I know I saw on the Strobist but can't find it now. Thanks for adding the index. Looking for some excellent content in 2010. Thank you so much for your hard work and on going sharing to the photography community.
David, first, THANK YOU for the index! Second, minor nit (very minor), the strobist banner at the top of the index main page isn't "clicky" it doesn't bring you back to strobist home.... As I said, VERY MINOR NIT. I'm hoping to get more time to exercise the wealth of info this site has this year (one of MY resolutions!). Thank You VERY Much for your great effort to bring this teaching to the community! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for the hard work! This is awesome, and makes it so much easier to find posts that deal specifically with my lighting equipment!
Dave, you da man!
Any chance of getting the whole index in one page so firefox can search for things really fast? [yeah faster than your highest sync speed even] :)
@Robin, few comments above: read through the OA section (I think that "Steve at Google" post will be especially appropriate in regard to your request), good Mr Strobist has described his light-creating process in great detail in there.
I think you may have also confused the terminology a bit. First test shot in David's process is usually for establishing ambient exposure (frequently underexposed), then he adds light (key, as well as fill, rim light and whatnot) on top of that.
@David: note on a typo: the "Lens, how they are made" link in index points to Skyports review.
Thanks David! This will be a big help...
@John-
Thanks for the offer, but I have it set up so I can easily add a new entry in about a minute. We good.
@Grega-
I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin' ... nothing yet.
@ Łukasz-
Blogger's search (at least of my site) has been a little hinky. No idea why. (I mean geez, it's GOOGLE.) But limitations of both that and tags are one of the reasons I coded the index. And thanks for the bad link. Fixing it now.
@Swordtail -
Started to, but then realized I would have to double code every entry. Um, that's extra work. We'll, um get back to you on that ...
This is a great idea, Thanks for all the great content hidden in those archives!!!!
